The samples sound a bit like GraphicAudio in terms of full cast, sound effects, etc. The Batsons title seems oriented for kids, which is a nice change of pace and a more unique direction. I wasn’t overly thrilled with the packed-to-the-earwalls sample for Titanium Rain, but as it was a battle scene, it’s hard to get an overall feel for a more typical section of the narrative. Something to keep an eye on.

Link: The Guilded Earlobe's Top 10 Zombie Novels and Series (with audiobook notes)
Led by Mira Grant’s Newsflesh series (bumped up to #1 due to Bob’s very positive thoughts on the final, just-released Blackout) and including several other books and series available in audio (and some which are not). My own write-in, though as much, much less a zombie connoisseur is Boneshakerby Cherie Priest, read wonderfully by Kate Reading and Wil Wheaton. Anyway — go check out the list and add your own favorites.

Link: Twenty-first stop on the DWJ blog tour -- The Functional Nerds!
Samuel Montgomery-Blinn (who is also behind the very terrific Bull Spec) provides a comprehensive overview of DWJ audiobooks. You’d be surprised by some of the narrators!
“[Howl’s Moving Castle] is done so well, so earnestly, and so authentically that those with an ear for dialects might begin to wonder why Howl speaks with a ‘tapped r’ long before we find out what’s sewn across one of his shirts.”
Thanks for letting me play
